Of course, there are definitely a ton of positive comments too. As I stated earlier in the post, some people don't care about grey market -- others do, so yes you can always make your own decisions.

The trouble with the type of feedback that has been given is that it is often for shipping used cameras when the buyer purchased a new one, or taking out some of the included accessories. Slow shipping, poor communication, shipping damage -- that all happens, and I've sold about 2500 items on eBay so I know the complaints that I've had against me.

There are numerous 5D mkIII listings where it was shipped without accessories -- that should never ever happen. It just pays to do a little research and decide if you want to chance such a large purchase from a dealer who has been known to have honesty and trust issues.

Everyone was losing their heads over the price of the 5D III when it came out (it wasn't much different than the mkII if you include inflation). The camera is a fantastic piece of machinery and the AF woes/shortcomings of the mkII are more than made up in the latest iteration.

I've owned every version of this lens (1.8, 1.4, 1.2) and they are all worth the price you pay. The 1.2L does amazing work, but you also have to have a good command of the camera with such razor sharp DoF. I noticed a little backfocusing in low light, but it produces top-notch images 95% of the time.

Seriously -- almost ever "deal" that is posted about a great eBay price is for grey market items. Either spell that out (here on CR) or don't post it. Many people view it as an endorsement of a reputable vender - akin to specials at B&H, etc.
